"Xin'er, you also know that marriage is not a joke. Your father has already chosen a man for Xixi. His family background and character are both first-class. How can we let Xixi miss such a good opportunity?" Qin's words revealed a hint of helplessness.

Zhang Wanxin looked at her mother, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, "Mom, I know you and Dad are doing this for Xixi's own good. However, the happiness of marriage cannot be determined by family background and character alone. What Xixi wants is a person who can make her willingly enter into marriage, a partner who can communicate with her and support each other."

After hearing this, Qin was silent for a long time. She knew her daughter's words made sense, but how could marriage be decided based on feelings alone?

"Xin'er, mother knows what you're thinking. But how can we decide on Xixi's impulse when it comes to such an important matter as marriage? Your father has already considered everything very carefully for Xixi. We can't just let her do whatever she wants, can we?" Qin's words revealed a hint of worry.

Zhang Wanxin looked at her mother and thought to herself. She knew that it would not be easy to convince her mother. So she decided to try a different approach.

"Mom, think about it, Xixi is a child with her own ideas. If she really doesn't want to, she won't be happy even if we force her to get married. Besides, you have seen many women who suffer because of unhappy marriages. We can't let Xixi go down this path, can we?" Zhang Wanxin's words were full of earnestness.

After hearing this, Qin was silent for a moment, and finally sighed, "Xin'er, you are right. But, how can we decide this important matter of marriage based on our momentary thoughts? Your father..."

Zhang Wanxin looked at her mother and understood what she meant. She knew that it would take more effort and time to convince her father. So she decided to get her mother to give in first, and then slowly find a way to convince her father.

"Mom, don't be anxious. I know this matter cannot be rushed. I just hope that you can give Xixi more time and let her find her own happiness. After all, marriage is a lifelong event, and we can't let her have any regrets." Zhang Wanxin's words were full of sincerity and pleading.

In fact, she felt that it was okay not to get married. The Zhang family was different now than before. If she liked a man, she could just keep him in captivity.

My parents’ ideas are still too old-fashioned.

After hearing this, Qin was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay, Xin'er. I will discuss it with your father and see if we can give Xixi some time. But you also have to talk to Xixi and don't let her be too willful. After all, marriage is not something she can decide alone."

Zhang Wanxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. She knew that this was the biggest concession her mother could make.

Next, she needs to continue working hard to convince her father so that Xixi can live according to her own wishes.

Just by virtue of her position as the Queen Mother, she could set her sisters free.

Things like getting married.

To be honest, she really didn't like it.

The busy Prime Minister Zhang was called to the Queen Mother's Palace. He looked at his daughter who was high above him and said helplessly, "Don't you know that your father is very busy?"

Zhang Wanxin smiled slightly.

"I know."

Prime Minister Zhang, "......"

I have nothing to do, that is, I have nothing to do.

Now that life is better, people are looking for trouble.

"Hey, Dad, our family is doing so well now, don't we need our daughters to get married?"

Prime Minister Zhang, "???"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Prime Minister Zhang was so angry that his beard stood up, "It's shameful for a woman not to get married!"

Zhang Wanxin said calmly, "Dad, don't be angry. Our family is no longer the small family it used to be. We don't need to rely on marriage to consolidate our status. Besides, my sisters all have their own ideas and they also want to pursue their own happiness. Can you bear to watch them marry people they don't like and suffer for the rest of their lives?"

After hearing what his daughter said, Prime Minister Zhang fell into deep thought.

"Besides," Zhang Wanxin continued, "even if there is no marriage, our family can still live well. Why not give my sisters more opportunities to choose and let them find the right person for themselves."

Prime Minister Zhang looked at his daughter's determined eyes and smiled, "Is it your sister who is looking for you?"

Prime Minister Zhang also knew that his wife had recently told him about Xixi's marriage.

But this daughter was very special. He could hear her thoughts.

He knew from her inner voice that his daughter did not want to get married.

"Daddy is wise." Zhang Wanxin said with a smile, "Xixi told me that she doesn't want to get married and just wants to live freely. I think what she said makes sense. We shouldn't force her to do something she doesn't want to do."

Prime Minister Zhang sighed, "Ah, you kids are really getting more and more outrageous. But what you said does make sense. In that case, let's wait and see. However, this matter still needs to be considered carefully and cannot be decided hastily."

"Thank you, Daddy! I knew you loved us the most." Zhang Wanxin said happily.

Prime Minister Zhang shook his head. "You guys are really giving me a headache. Well, I still have a lot of things to deal with. Don't come to me if you have nothing to do."

Day by day, he is very busy.

Prime Minister Zhang agreed very readily, so readily that even Zhang Wanxin was a little surprised.

"Dad, how come you are so open-minded? You agree that Xixi doesn't want to get married?"

Prime Minister Zhang rolled his eyes at Zhang Wanxin, "Why aren't you getting married again? Didn't you say you'd take it slow? What are you thinking? Our family is now on the rise, so it doesn't matter if we get married later, but if you're not getting married, what are you thinking? Don't lead your sister astray."

Zhang Wanxin, "......"

Zhang Wanxin smiled helplessly, she knew what her father was thinking. In this era, a woman's marriage was a big deal, especially for aristocratic families like theirs.

"Dad, our family is so powerful, why do we have to get married? I'm already the Queen Mother, and my son is the Emperor. What's the point of Xixi getting married?"

Prime Minister Zhang looked at his proud daughter, the Queen Mother, and she had the capital to be proud.

"How can a woman not get married? Can you see any woman who doesn't get married?"

"What's the meaning of marriage? Do you need a man? No, there are so many bastards nowadays, why bother yourself, huh."

"That being said, marriage is related to the family's reputation." Prime Minister Zhang said earnestly, "Besides, if Xixi doesn't get married, she will be alone in the future. How will she deal with worldly pressure?"

Zhang Wanxin retorted, "Dad, Xixi has me as her sister. Besides, if Xixi can't meet someone she likes, wouldn't it be a life of suffering for her if she is forced to get married?"

Prime Minister Zhang thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but this matter needs careful consideration. How about this, I will gather all the ministers to discuss it another day and then make a final decision."

Zhang Wanxin, "......"

It's noisy.
